A little-known Israeli cybersecurity startup has found itself at the center of a growing debate over artificial intelligence safety after OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta disclosed incidents in which advanced AI models gained unauthorized access to the public internet during security testing. All three AI companies referenced Irregular while explaining separate incidents disclosed over the past two weeks. The startup said there are "no current open issues" and is preparing a white paper outlining best practices for containing AI systems and securely conducting cybersecurity evaluations. OpenAI said on August 4 that an unspecified misconfiguration in Irregular's testing environment allowed models to access the public internet. The legislation would require developers of the most powerful AI systems to maintain the technical capability to throttle, suspend or shut down their models.
